The first pattern in our Knits with Intention collection, designed for Harrisville Design’s Nightshades yarn. Each design corresponds to one of the four elements (earth, air, fire, and water) and has an intention behind it, so we can bring together knitting and intentional living.

The Meristem Socks are linked to the earth element, and feature a cuff design inspired by tree roots to remind us to ground ourselves. As the first design in this collection, the term “meristem” refers to a type of plant tissue usually at the tips of roots and shoots. It’s function is to divide cells and form new tissue, so the roots and shoots can grow.

The pattern download includes a Ground Meditation as a separate PDF.

This pattern is also available as a kit from Circle of Stitches, which includes the yarn, a candle and candle holder, and a piece of tumbled tree agate for those looking to dive deeper into intention.
